Bring your museum to life

Join top-rated museums in becoming more accessible, inclusive and fun. Using our combination of hardware and web software you can create an immersive experience for your guests without cluttering up your walls with signs.

The 42Kites system can do what your your museum wall labels can’t because the content is all digital.

Hardware (SmartLinks Cards)

It’s way more than a boring QR Code.

The SmartLink Cards include NFC chip technology, which let’s people scan or tap their phone to instantly access digital information. Unlike a standard QR Code, our SmartLink Cards are reusable and they can remotely (and easily) be updated with new links.

It’s kinda magical.

Hardware (Holders)

The Wall-mounted Holder ties it all together. The holder protects, preserves and beautifully displays the SmartLink cards.

Designed with durability in mind, special materials were chosen to withstand UV rays, hot temperatures, cold temperatures and precipitation, making it so the holders can be used both indoors and outdoors. We also designed them to be thin, light and beautiful. At about twenty millimeters thick, the wall-mounted holder securely attach to surfaces using screws or wall-safe adhesive strips (both of which are included).

Web Software (Experiences)
Quickly create digital “Experiences” for your guests with the 42Kites website. An Experience is essentially a page of content that is perfectly formatted for mobile devices. The best part is that there is no app to download and no special software to install. Anyone can use this system from any mobile device.

All Experiences include our special feature called the Inclusion Bar which includes language translation, visual impairment controls and text-to-speech.

Accessibility & Inclusion
You’ve invested time and resources into your exhibits and our Inclusion Bar will help all your guests enjoy them. Whether you have a guest that speaks a different language, a guest that is visually impaired or a guest that just wants to have someone read it to them, the 42Kites system handles all of these needs.

Fun fact: Less than 20% of humans speak English.

What happens if a museum visitor only speaks Spanish? Or Korean? Or French, etc? With the 42Kites devices all of the content of your exhibit will automatically be translated into 100+ languages.

Busy museum staff love it

No More Printing Labels

Your printer is officially out of a job. You can update the text digitally and never print another label again.

No More Repeating The Same Story

How many times have you had to repeat the same story to new visitors? Well, the last time, can now be the last time.

No More Swapping Out Signs

Making plans for tonight and you hear “After we close up tonight can you go put up the new signage?”

No More Buying Electronic Devices

Instead of wasting money on clunky devices, free up those funds and let visitors use the device they already have.

No More Making Sure It's Charged

Ever start the day and realize all the proprietary devices didn’t get charged overnight? Never again.
